Hawthorne Berry

Hawthorne (crataegus oxycantha) is a common deciduous tree or shrub growing primarily in North America. A member of the family Rosaceae, hawthorne’s thorny branches sport beautiful pink or white flowers in the spring (hawthorne is also called “mayflower” or “maybush”) which develop into small apple-like fruit that ripens bright red in the fall.
